   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• Brave Search is the default search engine for AI agents -- not Google

  1. Check your site on Brave Search. Go to search.brave.com, search for your site name, your top articles, your product. Compare the results to Google. You might find articles that rank well on Google but are invisible on Brave -- or the reverse. When I first did this, I discovered several of my technical posts were completely absent from Brave's index despite ranking on the first page of Google. Different index,... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Preums, reminds me that coding without AI is magical

  That alone breaks the basic rule of TDD. And there are great tools like DuckDuckGo, Brave Search and StackOverflow to help us with our needs. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Google Removed 749M Anna's Archive URLs from Its Search Results

  Brave search is also quite nice: https://search.brave.com/ I find Google to generally have some of the worst search results of modern engines with one exception - Google tends to be good at digging up results from things like forums/message boards that don't end up getting listed on other search engines. I don't entirely understand why this is because other engines also have them indexed and work fine with... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Google admits anti-competitive conduct involving Google Search in Australia

  Try https://www.startpage.com/, https://search.brave.com/, https://kagi.com/ or https://github.com/searxng/searxng. You.com used to have really good search, but it looks like they have veered off into the AI chat space instead. Searxng is a self hostable meta search engine that allows you to basically just use the best search engines and easily switch between them. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Perplexity Makes Longshot $34.5B Offer for Chrome

  Https://search.brave.com Both Kagi and Perplexity are customers of Brave, btw. See https://brave.com/api or just ask if you have questions. Will answer what I can for anyone curious. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• What scripts have you built to stand up a new server?

  Thanks, will take a look at that curl thing. We are still using this and been working for us for ~15 years (python 2, ported to python 3) and this is just an example of how to take https://fabfile.org to the extreme but still is not the best way to do it. We only ~50 servers so it is not a massive fleet. The convenience of typing `fab ` to do things under control is still better than nothing :). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Good tool for automatic setup and deployment of Django projects

  I've used Rake and Fabric for somewhat similar (but less ambitious) stuff in the past and I'm thinking that Fabric might be a pretty good fit for this task as well, but I'd still like your input. Are there other tools I should look into? I've heard goodthings about Puppet but just looking at their site (it contains the word Enterprise ) gives me the feeling that it might be overkill for a one man operation. Source: about 4 years ago
